Question

When starting a seafood restaurant, should I use livestock or frozen seafood?

Answer 1

depends on ur budget, skill, knowledge, hygiene... many different factors. seafood is kind of dangerous and if ur asking this question to us r u really ready 2 open a restaurant... people totally under estimate how hard catering and hospitality is... work in a seafood restaurant first luv...

Answer 2

check your local health codes. much of the seafood you receive will need to be frozen for transport. i would rather have frozen and safe than "fresh" and possibly contaminated.

feel free to ignore this unsolicited advice, but you may want to look into what seafood is sustainably harvested. if you live in an environmentally conscious area this could be a good advertising strategy. many times the sustainably harvested seafood will not be any more costly the seafood harvested in environmentally detrimental ways.

Answer 3

depends on your customer perception, and be real about it.  dont try to serve c**p that looks good because you think that that upscale diner is your customer base. you'll get called on it and nobody will return.  give good ingredients, charge for it and manage portions.  or serve frozen c**p, priced accordingly and keep the average diner happy.

Answer 4

Both, depending on yout menu
